Patents: A unique source of information

About two-thirds of the technical information revealed in patents is never published elsewhere

Over 80 million patent documents have been published to date (over 2 million new patent applications published in 2011)

Important elements of patents include legal, technical, business and policy aspects

Feedback

La maitrise des techniques de recherches sur les brevets contribue à l'amélioration du

niveau des travaux de recherche des chercheurs universitaires. Dans le développement des travaux de recherche, les bases de données des brevets et autres actifs de la propriété intellectuelle qui sont sources de publication d'information technologique et scientifique restent très peu exploités par les chercheurs universitaires…

Feedback

“At the close of 2012, we have supported the

establishment of sixty-four Innovation and Technology Support Offices (ITSOs) in universities, research and

development institutions, and other organizations all over the country. The IPOPHL continuously provides technical assistance so that the ITSOs can become effective patent service providers that can provide reliable patent searches, draft patent claims, and provide advice and over-all IP

management in their respective communities.”

Director General, Intellectual Property Office The Philippines

Feedback

“Developing a network of TISCs will improve the quality of

applications and granted patents. We need 1200 of such Centers."

A customer has to say: here is what we need. TISC activity will boost the number of patent applications and patents granted."

Feedback

"Le CATI va offrir un cadre propice pour valoriser les potentialités humaines à même de promouvoir

l'inventivité et la créativité."

- Minister of Industry and SMEs, Democratic Republic of Congo

(81)

Feedback

"[TISCs will] provide the basis for building the important and growth-enabling culture of innovation and

entrepreneurship among students; enable SMEs to create strategic partnerships; serve as catalysts in clustering small businesses and attracting foreign partners and investors."

Conclusion

Least developed and developing countries put on more equal footing with other countries in terms of access to scientific and technical information

Least developed and developing countries enabled to develop their national capacities to

use and adapt inventions in the public domain transfer technology

develop new inventions of their own

 Effective take-off in all fields (scientific, economic, social, etc.)
